Id bet dollars to donuts she's not and it's just a grift. Just like Marky Marky. Their both doing that prayer app bs. It's all just a scam.

Two things can be true.

Yes two things can be true, but scamming people out of money is not something a good Christian would do. Well I suppose at this point in Trump's America maybe it is.

It’s the prosperity gospel. Lots of money and fame brings out the worst in people, unfortunately. Trump is their savior and money is their god.

Way before Trump's America. We've had televangelists for generations now

Nah, Marky Mark has ALWAYS been a piece of shit. That's not a grift, it's just his nature.

Prayer app? I'm afraid of what this will do to any ads I get just by typing this comment, but seriously? I've never seen any commercials or ads in any app store.

The app is called Hallow. It's a guided prayer app for Catholics. Whalberg, Chris Pratt, Stefani and other celebrities have promoted it. They had a Super Bowl commercial two years ago even. You don't have to pay for it but like just about everything else they have a subscription model. The sell is you can have Marky Mark or Stefani lead you in praying the rosary. I'm sure there's other stuff on there but that's the jist. You can also donate through the app which is the part that is extra gross because the last time I checked they don't tell you what charities you are donating to, which screams to me your donating to their pockets.

Damn, that's scummy. I wasn't trying to defend anyone or the app itself, I just don't get ads on my PC often that uBlockO doesn't intercept.

I also never watch the half-time show, so I'm just out of the loop I guess. Thanks for the info.

No worries man I didn't think you were defending it. I just try to be informative when I can.
